In A Plastic Ocean, an international team of adventurers, researchers, and Ocean ambassadors go on a mission around the globe to uncover the shocking truth about what is truly lurking
beneath the surface of our seemingly pristine Ocean.
It brings to light the consequences of our global disposable lifestyle and shows never-before-seen images of marine life, plastic pollution, and its ultimate consequences for not only human health but our planet.

I'd like to go with you Gracie but I can't leave the dog at home it screams.

The corner stone of Sea Shepherd Australia's Marine Debris Campaign is education. We firmly believe that through education we can assist people to make informed decisions that will benefit our oceans, marine life and planet.
This week our Marine Debris Campaign Coordinator Liza Dicks was a guest on The Daily Edition were they highlighted and discussed the extent and consequences of plastic pollution for our seas, marine-life and humankind. Link below.

Kimberley will be at answering your questions at the screening after the film. We asked why she became a Sea Shepherd Marine Debris volunteer and this was her reply!
"Through my journeys I became increasingly aware of the dire situation in which Mother Nature is being placed by humans. I’ve picked up rubbish from Everest Base Camp in Tibet and watched in horror as locals discarded basket-loads of waste into the world’s most sacred waterway – the Ganges River – hour afterhour. I joined Sea Shepherd almost two years ago, and have since been involved with the Marine Debris Australia campaign in Brisbane and surrounds, ApexHarmony Shark Defence Campaign, and on Operation Henkaku in Japan as a CoveGuardian, defending the dolphins in Taiji earlier this year. During the day, I am an avid defender of animals and habitats worldwide and believe that all social change starts from the passion of individuals.
